Re: [Sync4j-users] Use with Motorola StarTAC

Hi Julia

SyncML is a mobile device data sync protocol, formatting data into XML doc
and transported over either http, wsp or obex (infrared/bluetooth).

You can use libraries like sync4j or ksync (from enhydra, yet another
syncml implementation) to format/interpret your data.  As far as
transporting over the serial port, it's not mandated by the syncml
protocol.  You may write your own transport layer.

Best,
Simon
